First game of the season is away to Dagenham and Redbrdige which is a nice start as they're one of the weaker sides in the division and I'm still building my team blend and getting the players used to the new tactic. Ashley Barnes plays in Matt Sparrow who gets a debut goal! Bennett comes off the bench to poke in the second from a Calderon cross with 15 minutes to go. 2-0 win.

Then Hereford away in the league cup and I win 3-0 thanks to a Bennett penalty and strikes from Sandaza and Holroyd. However, amazingly, Bennett missed 3 additional penalties in this game! :ohmy:

Turkey, I know this is a really vague question, and I don't expect a detailed answer. But from someone who doesn't play FM. What % of results is luck/random, what % is based on what you do (formations, tactics, passing style, mentality, training, etc.), and what % is based on having players with the highest stats?

:shrug:

That was carried over from the quickstart - I want to do a full game now with different leagues... I aim to take the mighty Eastbourne Borough to Champions League glory :thumbsup:

Well it's impossible to give answers as percentages as it doesn't work like that.

I'm not really sure how to answer your question; everything is taken into account, morale is important, if a player is on a high, he's likely to play better. Tactics are important and of course a players ability is important.

A lot of patience and playing each game very slowly... I deleted the save game - basically, I don't want to *do* the game too quickly. Last time I was bored by mid-December. I''ve started a new one with the mighty Eastbourne! :D

I'm planning on doing a ten year career spending a maximum of two seasons at each club. Starting off at a random club in Bulgaria, Ukraine or somewhere like that & see if i can get a job at a top club
